Yu Bona is no ordinary mom returning to the office after maternity leave. For her first assignment back she heads to a rooftop, points a sniper rifle at her target in a nearby hotel room, and “bang!” the legendary assassin “Kingfisher” is back. But as Bona takes on a series of new targets, her news reporter husband Taesung is ordered to investigate Kingfisher’s return, and as the bodies pile up, the line between personal and professional slowly starts to blur.

Hi! I've been on kind of a villainess comic spree lately and need more material, any recommendations? I would LOVE a story where the protagonist actually plays the part as well. Plus points for a smart, morally grey/anti-hero protagonist!

Faves so far have been:

• Death is the only Ending for The Villainess
• The Villainess Lives Twice
• Roxana (cries in hiatus)

It's a regular manga, but I also like The One Within The Villainess a lot

Any reccs welcome!

The Korean-based Webtoon Entertainment is the world's biggest comic book publisher. It was founded in 2005 by its CEO, Junkoo Kim, while working for South Korean technology giant Naver Corporation, who still owns over 60% of the company. Webtoon Entertainment allows comic book creators to publish their work in a vertical scrolling digital reading platform. A number of titles have seen adaptations for the screen courtesy of Netflix, Prime Video, and Crunchyroll. Popular titles include The Mafia Nanny, Love 4 A Walk, Star Catcher, Childhood Friend Complex, The Remarried Empress, Down To Earth and Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story.

But Webtoon Entertainment has just reported big losses in an investor call for Q4 and the full year, even as it achieved higher sales, with David Lee, Chief Operating Officer and Board Member of Webtoon Entertainment, attributing the losses to increased IPO-related expenses, higher marketing costs, and goodwill impairment in the web novel sector, as well as and currency fluctuations driving the loss, as currencies in Asia dropped against a burgeoning dollar in 2024. Foreign currency adjustments made up a $62 million loss in Q4, and $72 million for the year, against only $18 million loss for the whole of 2023. And that South Korea's political instability had a temporary impact on user engagement. America, take note. Asset writedowns made up $70 million of the losses, but that wasn't far off what they went through in 2023 with $63 million written down.

And even with all those losses, Webtoon's sales were up 5.6% for Q4 and up 5.1 % for the full year to $1.35 billion. So, you know, there's a lot of money coming in, even if a lot of it is still going out.
